He'll entertain you like no one else can!

Dan was four years old when he saw Scott Hamilton dressed in a chicken outfit on Champions on Ice, laughing till he had tears in his eyes. Since then comedy has been the main focus in his skating career. He was a full cast member of COI from 2000 until it closed in 2007, and continues to perform making audiences laugh world wide.

I had an idea a few years ago to do the “Best of COI” as directed by Tom Collins. His voice would challenge me to be as good as the other skaters. When he named a skater, I would imitate them to the best of my ability.

I have been "training" Santa at the Gallery Mall in Texas since 2000! I decided to put together a fun video showing Santa getting back into shape to perform. For some reason little kids love watching this video!

This year Sun Valley decided on a western theme. I have always loved the song “Dearly Beloved” by Faith Hill. It is all about this shot gun wedding in which everyone is flirting with everyone else, with the main part being, “They’ll be together forever till they find somebody new.” It just cracks me up.

So the previous year was a bit of a cop out for a fresh routine by copying Doubtfire. This year I really wanted to come up with something good. Years back I heard Craig Heath, a very talented skated, talking about doing a Richard Simmons number. Well, it was years later, and I knew my version would be completely different.

Ahh…one of my favorite numbers that Tom Collins can’t stand. This a great routine Tommy!!! I was returning an item to Circuit City and in the middle of the transaction I heard, “…if I die before I wake, at least in Heaven I can skate…”

Ahh…one of my favorite numbers that Tom Collins can’t stand. This a great routine Tommy!!! I was returning an item to Circuit City and in the middle of the transaction I heard, “…if I die before I wake, at least in Heaven I can skate…” which was a music video playing on every tv in the store. I told the cashier sorry, but I’ll be right back and ran to the big screen to soak it in. I immediately bought the cd and listened to it NON-STOP for an entire year before my brain worked it out. I was going to be a goofy stuntman (like Super Dave) who attempts to backflip over a brick-wall (an aerobed with pvc legs helped designed by John…he really opened my eyes on how different things could be built and accomplished) and tanks miserably.

I then threw in a monk chant, pulled off the outfit to reveal I had died and gone to heaven with pop out wings. Those would have cost a MINT, and yet John figured a way to do it with metal, and staple clip removers, total material cost under 10 bucks! I flew Simone to MI and choreographed this in 2 days. I always get a good hand at this one, and even performed it on the Elvis Tour.
